Soo is anyone taking Milk Thistle? and does it really help the liver?
check with the pharmacist or your doctor. Some herbs can cancel or react with medications.
Actually, milk thistle seems relatively benign. I took it for years, but recent studies show that it probably doesn't help my particular liver problem. I would be careful of the products that contain mixes with other herbs. I always took a brand produced in Germany under the really strict German laws where it is pharmaceutical quality. Interesting, I just did a search and it has an estrogen like effect also and can cause menstruation. If I start to do that, it truly will be a miracle. Note; I still take SAM-E, S adeno methionene?, for my liver and mental health. Again, very benign profile, while extensive studies under clinical conditions show benefits. It is a drug - read directions. Also, if like me, you are worried about liver fibrosis, drink COFFEE! There is a very high correlation of coffee drinkers with liver disease and non-progression of fibrosis compared with those who do not drink it. If you have a liver disease, best of luck.
